Summary/Abstract: Purpose of Research is to identify the main aspects of the manifestation of the aesthetics of skomorokhs in ballet images. Methodology. The use of analytical, historical, chronological, typological methods allowed us to identify and analyze in a historical sequence ballet performances, where there are images of skomorokhs, to offer a typology of images. Scientific novelty. For the first time, a comprehensive analysis of the main aspects of the manifestation of aesthetics of skomorokhs in ballet images was carried out, a typology of images of skomorokhs in ballets was proposed in accordance with their role. Conclusions. The culture of skomorokhs influenced the artistic-figurative system of the ballet theater, where we meet the images of skomorokhs and leitmotifs of skomorokhs in the performances of historical and folk themes. Rather conditionally, in accordance with the place and role of the hero- skomorokhs in ballet performances, it is possible to distribute the images into groups: skomorokh as a symbol of the contradiction of external fun and internal suffering ("Parsley"); skomorokh as a real actor, a peculiar attribute of life of the XIV-XVII centuries (Ivan the Terrible); skomorokh as an illustrative component, a symbol of Russian life ("Snow Maiden").
